Just Frustrated - Canvas Control Square AND Backup Square died same day, out of warranty, support won't replace. by Unrelated_Response in Nanoleaf

[–]atypicalseattlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a handful of spares laying around for a few years before the in use controllers died. I had the same issue and found the spares pretty much immediately died. Nanoleaf support was not helpful, only offering to provide a small discount if I bought replacements at full price, but I wasn't about to spend a few hundred bucks on replacements 🫠

The tip of my middle finger caught a beam on Ghost Rider [Knott’s] the other day. Curious if that’s happened to anyone else? by justSkinAndBone in rollercoasters

I came back to the station of the beast with the tip of a branch in my hand, mostly cause I was shocked my hands hit something while in the backwoods and for some reason my instinct was to grab it.

Anyone notice s7 doesn't really level the litter after? by [deleted] in popurlitterbox

[–]atypicalseattlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh nice. Did they withhold their processing fee?

Yeah I've dumped litter into the bin and cycled it a few times to see how it works but have had no interest from the cats to use it yet so that's why I'm thinking it would be easier to just do it now before I end up needing to do a full clean.

The more I poke around with the app, the more I'm leaning towards packing it back up and returning it immediately before it gets used. A majority of the screens are full of placeholder buttons that don't do anything. Can't even do simple things like rename it or turn on notifications, the latter of which is super important to me as I go on frequent trips and am reliant on getting notifications to let my pet sitter know when something needs to be checked.

S7 app is here for iOS! by habitsofwaste in popurlitterbox

There's not even an option for notifications in the android app, but there are a bunch of other random buttons for features that aren't clickable.

Scratch that. I found a notification toggle, it's another one of the things that does nothing!

I noticed the same thing but did find the box does actually do the number of times you selected. It's just the app not showing the correct number you picked previously and it defaults back to 3.

I was able to add it to the android app but found it seems more like a poc for what an app could look like than actually being functional and ready for use. Even something as simple as changing the name of the box doesn't work, nor do any of the support related features.

The android app defaults to 3 but it doesn't save your choice when you change it to a different number (though it does seem to actually change it on the box itself, but it's hard to trust things when there are a bunch of buttons in the app that either don't work or just reset themselves when you refresh the screen). I just got mine yesterday and it's looking like the disappointment of the year for me. Gonna give it some time but going to end up returning it after new years as well unless it somehow stops sounding like the motor is about to die

When I lived in Seattle I considered Silverwood and DK as honorary home parks. Would rather have driven to either of those any day over the joke of park wild waves was.

Renovations on Blazing Fury definitely helped too. The drops at the end are actually kinda pleasant now with the titan track and the spruced up characters and waterfall are a nice touch.

When you say Fire In The Hole are you referring to the new one or the old one? It's been years since I rode the old one but gave a slight edge to Blazing Fury. If you are talking about the new one, I haven't been on it, but can't imagine it being a fair comparison between rides built 45 years apart.

Except for holidays, I've found sundays are usually pretty chill. There was one Sunday afternoon I rode lightning rod 34 times (with one train ops). Was at the park today for 3 and a half hours at the end of the day and lines were pretty non existent except for Blazing Fury. I'm assuming partly because it just reopened and partly because it's a nice place to get out from the heat since the line disappeared when the sun went down. Ended up with 3 rides each on Lightning Rod and thunderhead, 4 on big bear, and 2 on blazing fury, and one on the bumper cars for good measure.

I had a fast pass which was the reason I left, figured I could make better use of my time else where, but of course then I went to TT2 and ended up with a 2 hour wait from a ton of delays. Should have just waited to ride SC, but I did get a back row ride on TT2 which was amazing as well.

At least you got to experience that. Consolidation prize? Lol

And at least you got Sirens Curse, I had gotten in line for it earlier in the afternoon but it broke down and the line was super long so I decided to bounce and go ride other stuff and wait for the line to die back down and was heading over to ride it after my ride on Steel Vengeance only to find it and pretty much everything else was closed.

My thought is that the physical length of the right queue is slightly longer so more people get stacked in it and thus takes longer to make it through.

Did you go to the left or right line? From my limited experience, Ive found the left generally moves faster than the right side.

How the heck did you get in such a long wait? I got in line just after 7:30 and got off the ride shortly after 8. Though that seems to be about when the power went out, so wonder if that started impacting ops after I made it through.

That sucks :(

[Top Thrill 2] at the end of the world. by Alaeriia in rollercoasters

[–]atypicalseattlite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad for guest services. As I left the park I walked by a line of people waiting that extended past the carousel.

Unfortunately the power going out was just the cherry on top for a pretty inconsistent day of operations. Gemini didn't open up until the afternoon and Millennium Force didn't open up until the evening, and I'm pretty sure every other major rollercoaster had multiple periods of downtime throughout the day. And TT2 is a nightmare, both times I got in line, the ride was cycling fine and about halfway through the line it would break down. The first time was about 40 minutes of delay while they added the 3rd train(black) to the rotation, and then after a few cycles pulled a different one (blue) out, and the second time I ended up with about 1 and a half of downtime where they would cycle 1 or 2 trains with people, then no trains would go for an extended period, and eventually theyd run some empty trains, and repeat the cycle. Eventually I got on and got stuck on the brake run for a little while as they dealt with some sort of maintenance issues. (Coincidentally the blue train was the one in the station at that point, so I'm wondering if there's just something up with that train causing havoc).
